The article reports on the high infrared transparency characteristic of conductive-carbon-nanotube (CNT) thin films. Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered that such attribute of CNT thin films enabled excellent average transmittance for wavelengths up to 22 micrometer. This discovery is essential in developing substitutes for brittle indium tin oxide materials used solar cells, solid-state lighting and displays.
